Think I posted this in Headline thread, but yes, the local town figured that one out is now dead set against it and will fight the sale...buying up land in our country 50 miles away from key military bases (yeah look it up)...
They violated our sovereign air space! Let me repeat, OUR Freekin AirSpace. In Violation of International Law! That alone is the main issue. Whether accidental (doubt it) or not.
This isnt some satellite 200 miles up in space. This this is 120 feet wide and has surveillance equipment at the bottom 80 feet wide for reconnaissance that is being directed at 35K - 60K feet. And our pussy administration let them right the heck in. Had them tracked since at least off the coast of Alaska. through Canada (another useless government) down Montana over 5 US bases, midwest now East Coast.
If that doesn't explain it for you, nothing will. Then again, you're probably totally cool with $100Billion in aide to Ukraine that gets money laundered back to US politicians.
I don't understand what all the brouhaha is over this freakin' balloon? To me - it's a lot of uproar over absolutely nothing.
If it's actually spying who gives a rat's ass.
If it's gathering information so what? It's not like it's gathering any information they don't already get from their spy satellites & I seriously doubt it actually is. If you're going to send something over another country to spy you don't send a huge, white, slow moving balloon that can be seen with the naked eye.
I believe the Chinese that it's a weather balloon that went off course.
So let's expend a million dollar's worth of ordinence to shoot it down.
The Chinese have to be laughing their collective asses off...................................
Wow, just saw the video, this was handled so poorly.Balloon has been taken down ??
That’s like running outside with a shotgun after two robbers stole everything in your house and firing warning shots.Wow, just saw the video, this was handled so poorly.
